Carney touts 'substantial progress' after Trump delays tariffs for three days
The pause buys 72 hours for negotiations as Canada seeks relief from sector-specific U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, lumber and autos.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced a three-day delay on planned 50% tariffs against Canada, citing a tentative deal between the two nations.
- President Trump originally announced the 50% tariffs in July under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, claiming the levies would level the playing field for American exports like cars, alcohol, and dairy.
- Roughly $28 billion worth of Canadian imports would have been targeted by the 50% levies, intensifying a tit-for-tat trade battle between the United States and Canada that has persisted since last year.
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that substantial progress has been made, although important work remains; The United States Trade Representative noted the deal includes comprehensive market access for American goods and digital trade alignment.
- The United States agreed to postpone the 50% tariffs until end of day, August 21st, as both nations continue intensive discussions to address outstanding trade issues and deliver greater certainty for Canadian businesses and workers.
